Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 03, 2005 6:23pm PDTWell without any downtime in about a year or so I guess we were due for a few hours of fun. Sadly these days we keep much better redundancy and backups which makes it much more of a challenge for us to lose data. Sorry. :(

"August 6th and 9th this year mark the 60th anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing of the two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in which more than 200,000 residents perished instantly, and hundreds of thousands more died slowly through radiation poisoning. The cities themselves have been rebuilt with residents returning to their normal lives."

HIROSHIMA — Hiroshima marked the 60th anniversary of its 1945 atomic bombing Saturday, with the mayor urging the United Nations to establish a committee to try to realize and maintain a nuclear weapon-free world.

Civilization is basically toast because of war/disease/zombies (something like that) although there are survivors. The story basically follows these peoples lives.
Stuff like this:
The Omega Man
Mad Max
Dawn of the Dead...
Waterworld
Other stuff like the following would be great too:
1984
soylent green
Any crazy ideas are welcome!

With all of the cleaning I've been doing at my place I realize I have too many books. I like hardcovers but they take up a lot of space. Is it possible to get the majority of books as e-books these days or is it still an industry experiencing growing pains? I want to be able to find any book I am interested in a digital format.
How are e-books read? I don't think I could do it on a PDA but I remember someone talking about a cool, affordable book reader. Is the technology still improving? How many books can I fit into a reader at a time? I guess 2-3 at a time would be sufficient but more would be better.
I hope that people that read e-book share their experiences.

What do you think? Good price? Will they last awhile? How about the backlight on the keyboard, is that really worth it? Maybe some different colors, but I think they'd go nicely together.
Yes, no?

Seriously, it's getting bad. Three days with no sleep. I feel like I should be tired. I just spent all night cleaning house because I had nothing better to do. :| I've tried warm milk, protein shakes, sleeping pills, reading a book before bed, a warm bath, protein shakes, exercizing (though I'm keeping that up, it still has no effect,) and finally, protein shakes.
Could it be my diet? I'm not really stressed.... This has gone on for a while, too. :| Very few days do I get any sleep at all.
I can only clean the house so many times. >_O

Ars takes the Apple Might Mouse apart. Finds out the truth, the right "button" sensor was pointless to put on it. At least unless they decide to change the logic chip to behave differently.
Pretty cool article. I hope Apple comes up with a way to make everyone happy. Even though it's not really an issue for most people. Just people who need to click both mouse buttons at the same time.

This Friday, we're doing something a little different. We're inviting
fansites to submit questions to us so that we can undertake a brief
interview with James Phinney. Now, the time is short, but here's how it will
go:
Please let your community know that we are offering this rare opportunity.
We can't ask James to take time out of his schedule on a regular basis, but
he's agreed to this one-time instance, and we're happy to offer it.
Feel free to accept questions from your site forums, or to draw up some that
you would like answered, or that come from your site staff members. Send
them to us via a single email, and have them reach us by 9:00 AM Pacific
Time on Friday morning. We ask that each fansite submit no more than five
(5) questions, and I will then sit down with James and get his answers to
three that are at the top of the list.
--Gaile Gray
Anything you guys want to ask James Phinney?
